Bottle from Beer52. Deep gold, no head. Light fizz, but does feel a little flat. Whiff of cereal and light lemon, along with a touch of cardboard. Cardboard on initial taste, then caramel, floral honey and a touch of grass and sweet spice. Quite sweet, albeit with a little hint of dryness in the finish. Grew on me after a poor start, but badly let down by poor condition, despite being well within date.

33cl bottle from Beer52.com. A straw coloured pour with a thin white head and moderate carbonation; floral aroma with some breakfast cereal; sweet grainy body with a crisp, clean, grassy bitterness; and a touch of honey on the finish. Definitely a step up from a macro lager.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Royal Mile Whiskies (Holborn). Pours totally clear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds cereal, pale bread, faint metal, lemon. Light to medium sweet flavor with further cereal character, ripening citrus fruits, jammy lemon, white bread, straw. Light bodied with average carbonation and massaging texture. Sweet on the finish, with more further cereal, biscuits, lemon rind, light tangerine, some dough, hay, pale grains, slight melon. Overall, it’s an easygoing and rather tasty lager.

Clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Clean pale malts, trace of sweetness. Whispers of floralness and citrus, bare whispers. Light finish. Hardly reborn lager is it? More same old same old, clean at least.

Bottle consumed at home. It pours very lightly hazy pale yellow-gold with a small white head. The nose is soft, pale bread, cracker, mild sweetness, grainy and grass. The taste is crisp, quite clean, white bread, paper, cracker, touch of cream and grassy action with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty well-rounded for what it is. A simple, but enjoyable lager bier.
